Doing Mobile Right
One great side effect of having no standard way to convert a website for mobile browsing (sorry CSS, it's still not happening) is taking some time to sit down and think what should go on your mobile site.
Here are some tips on how we've helped our clients setup sites for mobile devices:
- Different audience, different use case. Tailor content for the small screen for users wanting quick info "on the go".
- Content top to bottom. Keep the design, navigation, and content layout simple since mobile users don't want to have to scroll sideways or zoom in to get around your site.
- Test and check that you're not just setting a site up for one type of device (cough! iPhone). As with any website, lay things out to provide a consistent experience across the most popular platforms.
- Allow visitors an "out". Re-direct mobile visitors from your homepage to your mobile site but allow them to set whether or not they always want this to be the case.
